When the policy was just opened, whenever the "two-tire car" was mentioned in the car circle, many people of insight would recommend a 7-seat SUV, the reason was simple and rude, the body size was up to standard and the seats were enough. But in fact, "two-tire car", any car with 5 seats can be competent, 4 family members.
Why do I have to buy a 7-seater car? The answer is that the original family of three bought a 5-seat car, and the remaining 2 seats, whether it was for grandparents or grandparents can be competent. But ushered in the second child, in the face of such a simple mathematical problem, I believe everyone will suddenly realize that the 7-seater car is indeed more able to solve the situation of occupant capacity.
But I personally think that the real "two-tire car" should be a 7-seater MPV.
First of all, MPV is mostly derived from the car platform, which gives it the same ground clearance as the car, which is convenient for getting on and off and loading objects. In addition, regardless of the four-wheel drive layout and passability, the MPV's interior space has more varied utilization, especially the actual riding experience of the third row, the MPV is more comfortable than the SUV, even if it is a long ride, there will be no sense of depression. At this point, everyone really through the actual comparison, after all, the third row is not the car you buy to ride, but after all, will sit in this position is also your cherished family.
2021 can be described as the explosive year of the MPV market, whether it is foreign brands or our Chinese brands, there are many new MPV releases. In the midst of the variety, with a car purchase budget of about 300,000 yuan, recommend a 7-seat MPV suitable for "two-tire cars", I will definitely Amway everyone, consider Guangqi Honda's new odyssey e: HEV.
To be fair, the current generation of Odyssey has undergone two changes, and it is indeed close to the time of replacement. But that doesn't stop me from recommending it to everyone.
The new Odyssey came to 2022, and the appearance changes were mainly focused on the front face, and it should even be said that the front face was reshaped. The whole head of the vehicle has been raised due to the change in shape, and at first glance it has become thicker. The headlights have become Honda's latest family-owned all-LED light source, and the chrome decorative strips on the exterior are also connected to the new shape of the large hexagonal grille. Compared with the current model, the front face of the new Odyssey is closer to the luxury car style.
The side of the body has not changed much, and the secondary top and top models have added a double five-spoke 18-inch wheel. If you are careful enough, you will find that the front and rear fenders have been eliminated to connect the front and rear headlights and windows. In addition, the top model has added Honda's unique magic sensor door, which has improved the practicality and grade sense.
The rear of the car has also changed a lot, and the entire shape of the tailgate is completely different from the current model. The shape of the taillights has also changed, not as exaggerated as the current model, and is more in line with the introverted positioning of the family. The through-style chrome strip links the license plate holder and taillights, and the style echoes the front face. In addition, in addition to the entry-level model, a kick-and-kick induction tailgate function has been added, and the convenience has been enhanced again.
The exterior changes of the new Odyssey can be described as a matter of opinion, but its internal layout and configuration upgrades are the main reason why I have given you Amway. Friends who are ready to buy a second-child car, allow me to introduce how the Odyssey implements Honda's MM concept (engine compartment minimization, crew compartment maximization).
Not to mention that you may not know, the length (4861 mm) and width (1820 mm) of the Odyssey are less than the Accord, but because of this, it is more suitable for navigating the roads of congested cities, and it is not as clumsy as the business MPV. In addition, thanks to the boxy body shape, the sense of internal open space created is a travel space to enjoy the joy of heaven.
Odyssey has always been a sales hit in the family MPV market, mainly in the camp of joint venture models in the same price point, and there is really no direct competitor.
The two independent aviation-class seats in the second row, with back, waist, and leg rest adjustment functions, can not only be pulled left and right and front and rear, but also can be combined to store the third row of seats, presenting a large four-seat luxury class seating space.
Speaking of the third row of seats in the Odyssey, it is called "always imitated, never surpassed". Because this row of seats, although it is a 3-seat design, thanks to the boxy body shape, it has plenty of head space inside, and even 3 adults can easily sit down.
Moreover, for Honda, which is good at using space, the third row of seats of the Odyssey is designed as a hidden storage type, which is called a flat space. The 2022 Odyssey has added an overall flip-back function, which has become a dedicated mode for fishing and sunbathing.
In fact, seven years later, when the new generation of Odyssey was launched, I participated in its test drive. Now sitting in the 2022 Odyssey, you can feel that Guangqi Honda, after listening to the feedback of the media and consumers, is still upgrading its product strength for this model that is a popular sales model for home MPV.
The upgrade of the center console is the most obvious, and the whole shape has changed. The new floating central control display is 10.1 inches, equipped with the new Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guide interconnection system, and the more intuitive UI interface is easy to use. In order to cater to the era of connected car machines, the Internet of Vehicles and OTA upgrade functions have been added.
My favorite is "Tmall Genie", which is simply a feature for grandpa, which can realize online payment for voice shopping, which is the most intimate for families traveling with small children. And at the bottom of the screen is the retention of physical buttons, which is convenient for blind operation when driving.
In addition, the left side of the meter is a new 7-inch LCD display screen, which is combined with the physical pointer to form a double-circle style, which is more intuitive when reading driving information. The cancellation of gear handles can be said to be no surprise, after all, electronic button shifting is the most popular way for Honda family models.
Interestingly, in front of the co-pilot, a hidden storage space has been added to the top of the center console, and the open button is designed as a decorative strip, it seems that the interior designer of the 2022 Odyssey is also the dad who "suffers from tracheitis", after all, this hidden storage space is most suitable for hiding private money.
In addition, Honda's first hidden air conditioner outlet cup holder is one of the reasons I like the Odyssey, along with the storage space below the gear handle and the two front door panel positions, you can easily put 12 500 ml bottles. There is also a front row that provides wireless charging for mobile phones, which is also one of the upgrade projects of the 2022 Odyssey, combined with the original 5 USB interfaces, which fully meet the travel needs.
By the way, the only thing that hasn't changed in 2022 is that it's still all hybrid. Honda's third-generation i-MMD hybrid system, consisting of a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle engine (thermal efficiency of up to 40.6%) combined with an electric motor, has a combined horsepower of 215 horses. Matched with this is the E-CVT transmission.
In fact, I think this hybrid system is more in line with Odyssey's home positioning. After all, ride is the biggest selling point of this powertrain, and it is also in line with the MPV's driving texture that focuses on comfort. Due to the short duration of the experience, I did not feel how effective the hybrid system was. If I have the chance, I will borrow another local test drive for a long trip and tell everyone the truest energy consumption of the Odyssey.
As far as the simple field test drive is concerned, the feeling that the new odyssey gives me is that it has not changed "lazy" because of the change to the hybrid system. And as a Honda model, the Odyssey also has a hand in handling. The directivity of the front of the car can be described as an over-shift existence in the MPV level, and the responsiveness is very high. But after all, with a height of 1712 mm, it is not suitable for tackling corners, but in terms of shuttle intercity, it is undoubtedly easy to drive.
The suspension of the front McPherson rear torque beam is a more comfortable setting. However, personally, I feel that the stability of the upgraded 18-inch wheels is improved, but at the same time, it will lead to a reduction in its flat ratio, which will become a discount in handling the vibrating effect of the broken vibration. But one thing that can be affirmed is that the quietness of the new Odyssey when driving has indeed improved the rise, because the second and third rows of windows have been upgraded to laminated silent glass.
If you're already excited about the new Odyssey, listen to my buying advice. The price of the new car ranges from 235,800 yuan to 354,800 yuan. If you have a family member who needs to use a wheelchair, you can directly consider the Rui Ling Benefit Edition of 340,800 yuan and the Rui Yao Welfare Edition of 354,800 yuan.
As for ordinary families, if they are old drivers and have confidence in driving and DIY vehicles, then the entry-level model Rui Yue Enjoy Edition priced at 235,800 yuan is a good choice, and this price can buy hybrid joint venture MPV, which can really make people move. Fabric seats, manual sliding doors, and cruise control can all be retrofitted through the aftermarket to create an MPV that's exclusive to you and your family.
And I personally recommend the 299,800 yuan Rui Yaoxiang version, because its active/passive safety configuration is the same as the top model, for the whole family, there is nothing more important than "safety"; in addition, compared with the 285,800 yuan Rui · Collar Edition, the front and rear head safety air curtains, side blind area images, segmented electric sunroof, automatic headlights, second row leg rest adjustment, full window one-key lifting, rear privacy glass has been added.
